IceCube Data

IceCube is committed to the goal of releasing data to the scientific community. This page contains data sets produced by AMANDA/IceCube researchers along with a basic description. Due to challenging demands on event reconstruction, background rejection, and systematic effects, data will be released after the main analyses are completed and results are published by the international IceCube Collaboration.

The raw data rates collected by the IceCube detector far exceed our daily satellite bandwidth allocations. To allow physics analysis to proceed as quickly as possible, the first level of reconstruction and event filtering is done in near real time at the South Pole station.
